So somebody just figured out a stat that has us all fired up: NINETY percent of the Grammy Nominees from 2013-2017 have been dudes. This study highlights how disproportionate the music industry really is:
"For example, Adele and Taylor Swift are the most recent Album of the Year winners (Adele for “25” in 2017 and Swift for “1989” in 2016), but their nominations also go to producers, recording engineers, mixers, mastering engineers and songwriters — that’s where the recording industry is almost exclusively male. This year, Lorde is the only woman with an album nominated in that category for her sophomore album “Melodrama,” up against Bruno Mars’ “24k Magic,” Kendrick Lamar’s “Damn” and Jay-Z’s “4:44.”
